Default New Wheels (pic)

I got a real good deal on some 07 Ultra Classic wheels. I changed out the bearings,sleeves and internal spacer and put them on my 08 SG for a little different look.

Thanks to Dawg for help with p.n's and advise.

I just swapped out the stock black wheels on my '07 Ultra Classic for a set of chrome plated factory wheels I bought off of ebay. They are the same 9 spoke wheels as the black ones but have had the little nubs ground off and polished and chromed. Made a huge difference in the look of mine, especially with it being a two-tone color bike. They aren't the high-dollar custom wheels so many guys are going with now days but the cost was great and it keeps the "classic" Electra Glide look with the fat 16" front tire.

Those Classic wheels look good on your Street Glide.I never really liked the SG stock wheels.I put the Limited wheels on my Classic and am very happy with them.

Thank you guys!

I would have liked to have had custom wheels but the $$$ would not let it happen.

I do like the looks of the 9 spokes better than the stock SG wheels. They seem to ligthen up the looks of the front end.
